Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

The bar owner looked in the direction of Chen Yang's finger. He didn't know the name of the pot. He only knew that it was blue and white porcelain.Although I don’t know much about antiques, I also know that blue and white porcelain is relatively valuable.

I also like this piece of blue and white porcelain. The blue and white porcelain is bright in color, and the whole body of the pot has no bumps. It looks antique. I want to see why Chen Yang said it is fake.

The boss opened the cabinet door and carefully took out the blue and white teapot with broken branches, flowers and fruits, and placed it in front of Chen Yang, "This is a fine piece of blue and white porcelain. I want to see what you say!"

Chen Yang smiled. Appraisal of antiques was much easier for him than singing. First of all, the weight of this thing was wrong when he held it in his hand.

The body of this kettle is in the style of a jade pot and spring vase. There is a long curved flow on one side of the belly, and a cloud-shaped plate is connected between the flow and the neck. It is used as a lid, and the lower part of the handle is decorated with three nipples. The lines of the vessel are complex and changeable.

"Blue and white, blue and white, you can tell how this kind of porcelain looks from the name." Chen Yang put the pot on the desk and explained to the boss, "First look at the blue, then the flower, the shape, the glaze, and finally Look at the foot and style.”

"Blue and white porcelain has experienced Tang blue and white, Yuan blue and white, Ming and Qing blue and white. Because the materials used in each period are different, the colors and characteristics also show different, which is also an important feature of chronology."

"The material used for Yuan blue and white is Su Ma Li Qing. The color of the material is rich and scattered, with obvious crystallized iron spots. In the early Ming Dynasty, domestic materials were used. The color is blue with gray tones, which is light gray, and some rust spots penetrate deep into the tire. Bone, this is because the cobalt material contains impurities such as metallic manganese and iron. Part of it appears light blue, with stable color and no halo. Some small impurity spots can often be seen scattered in the dense color, which instead shows the appearance of blue and white. level."

"During the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, two types of materials were mainly used: imported materials and domestic materials. During the Yongxuan period, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West and brought back high-quality Sumali green materials from abroad. Because Su materials were imported materials and the quantity was very small, they could only This pigment was used in official kilns, while the blue and white in private kilns continued to use domestic materials.”

"But whether it is made from domestic materials or imported materials, the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan and Ming dynasties will leave crystallized rust. The rust appears brown and is extremely obvious on the surface of the blue and white porcelain."

As he spoke, Chen Yang turned the pot in front of the boss, "Look for yourself, there is no sign of rust on your pot."

Listening to what Chen Yang said so clearly, the boss couldn't help but frowned, but he still said, "I have been playing with antiques for a while. I have heard of your statement, but I cannot generalize it. It is said that Suma Liqing material, If the screening is done well, there will be no rust left, so you can’t rely on this to deny it.”

As he spoke, the boss turned the pot over and said, "Besides, this is not porcelain from the Yuan or Ming dynasties. The base is printed with the Qianlong year system, which is from the Qing Dynasty."

After hearing what the boss said, Chen Yang looked at the money and smiled, pulled up a chair, sat down, and lit a cigarette, "This is about looking at flowers and shapes."

"Judging from the patterns and shapes, this is indeed the style of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. As you just said, the iron content of green materials during the Qing Dynasty was low, so the rust spots would not be so obvious, but because In this way, in the blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, the rust floats on the glaze."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang took a puff of cigarette and finally made a conclusion, "In other words, no matter which blue and white porcelain is from the Yuan, Ming, or Qing dynasties, there will be rust spots on the body, but the area, color, and depth are different."

The bar owner was obviously dissatisfied and took the kettle and inspected it carefully again. Indeed, as Chen Yang said, there was almost no rust on the entire kettle.Although there was a trace of doubt in my heart, I still didn't want to admit it.

"Look at my feet. In addition to the Qianlong year, there is also flint red on them. Do you dare to say they are fake?"

Chen Yang smiled and glanced sideways at the bar owner. This guy was possessed.But it's normal. Who wants to admit that the porcelain they bought for a large price is fake, and they can't accept it psychologically.

"Let me tell you this, flint red became less and less in the late Ming Dynasty. From the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, flint red was almost impossible to see." Chen Yang took a puff of cigarette and said.

"What?" The boss looked at Chen Yang with a questioning look on his face, "Do you understand how there is no flint red under the old porcelain? It has been gone since the Qianlong period. You really dare to talk nonsense!"

Seeing his boss questioning himself, Chen Yang just smiled and shook his head. Ignorance is really terrible. He probably only knew about the term "Flint Red" and didn't even know how it was formed.

"Do you know how flint red is formed?"

"This……"

"Let me tell you," Chen Yang smiled slightly, "the reason why flint is red is because during the firing process of porcelain, the iron element flows due to gravity. The iron molecules flow and gather at high temperatures, and generally adhere to the glaze of the porcelain. the junction or base,"

"When porcelain was fired in the past, the mats were placed on sand. The high iron content would seep into the tread, so flint red was formed. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, porcelain mats were used instead, and flint red almost looked like the color of flint red. Not so much. After the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, the flint red color was almost invisible."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang turned the pot over and said, "Look at the porcelain and the feet. This pot has ring feet. Look at the ring feet of your pot. They are so flat. The size and proportions are just like those made by a machine." .”

"You know, embryos were all made by hand in ancient times. It is impossible for a hand-made circle to be so round. It is different from the eggs painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Think about it carefully, is this made by a machine?"

At this time, the bar owner was not feeling well. He frowned and looked carefully at the bottom of the pot.

Indeed, as Chen Yang said, this circle is rounder than a compass.I don’t know if such fine craftsmanship existed in ancient times, but Chen Yang is right when he says that the eggs painted by Leonardo da Vinci are not the same, so this thing looks fake.

"Brother, then this one..."

Looking at this low price, Chen Yang actually wanted to laugh for a long time, but he kept holding it back.

"The Shang and Han Dynasties were crude, the Han and Tang Dynasties were simple, the Yuan Dynasty was vigorous, the Hongwu Dynasty was grand, Yongxuan was beautiful, Chenghua was slender, Jiawan was ancient and clumsy, Kangxi was solid, Yongzheng was elegant, and only Qianlong was full of flowers and extremely luxurious!"

"This formula fully explains the characteristics of the base models of each era. The recognition of each dynasty is very high. Only the base models of Emperor Qianlong have endless variations, so there are many imitation styles."

Chen Yang put the bottom of the pot in front of the bar owner, "Brother, tell me, how does this base have anything to do with flowers and luxury?"
